Dude is wearing a porkpie hat on the cover. Dude is making “jazz face.” Dude can play his ass off. Skip right to the end and check out “CD Changer.” It’s not often that a pianist will apply so much torque to the percussive nature of the instrument. Also check out the emotionally explosive “Slow Blues For MLK.” The killer bit here is the sorta-deconstruction of “Round Midnight.” I like it when I’m in the middle of a tune and suddenly think “What is this song again?…oh, right!”

Half Notes is a quick-take music feature on Something Else! Reviews, presented whenever the mood strikes us.
